Simple and quick. Not very sweet, but since relatively healthy, a good cookie for when grandparents visit (grandpa needs to watch his sugar intake). I'm always looking for healthier cookies to swap in place of his regular high sugar/fat cookie addiction. And these have got whole grains and heart-healthy almonds too.

I really enjoyed these cookies! They are not overly sweet, and go GREAT with a fresh cup of coffee!!! :) I had a bit of trouble forming the cookies, but nothing major ... I got 18 cookies. My husband and daughter don't like this kind of cookie (no chocolate LOL) so it's GREAT for me because I know they'll be there when I want one! Great recipe, thanks for posting it Jenny! :)

I love to garden, both perennials and vegetables. I am always looking for recipes to fiddle with, especially good simple vegetable dishes. I try to use organic ingredients as much as possible.
